Differences Between a Cummins RAM Diesel and the Competing Diesel Engines | Lithia Motors

[Music] Lithia dodge grants pass Larry Wiley you clicked on this because you wanted to see the difference between a Cummins diesel and the other competing engines I've got a few bits of information for you the Cummins diesel was putting this truck first in 1989 existed 20 years before that it's not built by dodge at all built by Cummins world-renowned engine this is a six cylinder straight six diesel cast-iron head cast-iron block timing chain and gear and no clove glow plugs it's a true diesel the other competing engines have aluminum heads they cool different temperatures and their v8 this has more torque of a thousand rpm and either one of them this engine is a third less moving parts and decides building torque about a thousand rpms where the actual pulling power is this ends is good for a million miles you heard me mention earlier that this is a true diesel because no glow plugs in it the other diesel type engines that's what they're called diesel types have actual glow plugs down in the cylinder holes and when it starts up those heat up to heat up the fuel mixture to ignite it it's not a spark it's just by the compression of the heat so and those get worn they're a little bit hard to start you probably some older vehicles of other brands that are hard to start the wintertime that was why the fuel sloshes on them they're not quite as strong as they were and they don't start this is a heated grid chamber where the air comes and heats the air before it comes in that's why these will start with $500,000 they'll still start right up when it's cold it is the diesel engine to have everybody makes a nice truck Dodge has the best engine [Music] Hey [Music]
